Category: My Writing Life

Getting sucked into the writer’s rewriting haze is so much easier when the kiddos are older.  Still know I’m probably forgetting something important, but right now, I don’t care. It has “mostly” pulled my mind off the Dweller sale and that makes this WIP my best friend right now. 😉 Have a great weekend!

Battling a headache today and I think it’s because I’ve been studying like I’m back in school.  My critique partner  is a genius.  I was rattling off the new idea I’d come up with during research for the rewrites on the book and she asked a hard question.  Hard because it made me realize I had NOT…

There will be a couple of scenes added into the rewrites, but draft one of my WIP is done.  I hit the office at nine this morning and only took one break to walk around when I got hit with the afternoon sleep shovel.  Damn, that thing is powerful.  I cleaned some stuff, then went…

The third book in Rachel Vincent’s  Shifters Series is officially out this week!!!!!  I’m on trial for my life. Falsely accused of infecting my human ex-boyfriend—and killing him to cover up the crime. Infecting a human is one of three capital offenses recognized by the Pride—along with murder and disclosure of our existence to a…

I’m this close (picture my fingers about two inches apart) to closing on the first draft of my YA and all its Norse mythology goodness.   I’m VERY excited to get started on the rewrites, especially now that my agent has taken a peek and given some advice.   So, I’m working hard right now.  Don’t forget,…

Kids. Home. From. School. Again. I just might have to lock myself in my room to get real work done.  Snow days from school are holidays to them, so there is a lot of excited energy and “Mom, can I” stuff since they are also stuck in here with me. Thing is, this is one…

Yes, my introduction as a Deadline Dame is Wednesday and I’m excited and nervous and well, all around loving how well our launch has gone.  Today, Karen Mahoney is giving away the third in Melissa Marr’s YA fey series–a book not out for a few months, so I’d run over there and comment if I were…

Today, Jenna  Black  is giving away the first three books in her Morgan Kingsley series!  (The Devil Inside, The Devil You Know, and The Devil’s Due) She talks about how a writer’s mind works and asks you to think about being a superhero and what your powers would be.  Come join the fun with another…

Thank you to all the readers who’ve made the first week of our launch such a success! It has been SOOOO exciting.  I hope you all keep coming back-we have lots of fun in store.  The winners of this week’s prizes will go up late this afternoon and we start a new week of prizes this…

Oh, the joys of being a mother when your children have stomach flu.  One of them was hit pretty badly.  But, in between handing out glasses of cold Ginger Ale and doing mountains of laundry… and um, other stuff I won’t share–cause I luv you guys— I managed to work.  Insane, yes? Got about 1500…
